Alcatel-Lucent is focusing on “Moving Metro Forward” at OFC 2014. Lightwave Editorial Director Stephen Hardy speaks with Alcatel-Lucent IP Transport Marketing Leader Kevin Drury about what this means in the context of 100-Gbps transmission. Along the way, Kevin discusses strategies for reducing the cost of 100G for metro applications, whether Alcatel-Lucent would ever be interested in a pluggable coherent transceiver, and what the prospects for 200G and 400G in the metro might be.
